10:06 -- And that's going to be the ballgame barring a miracle. Lopez fails to make a routine play with two outs and the flood gates open for four runs in the seventh. All four runs in teh inning are unearned.

9:57 -- Hmm, it seems that Ryan Rowland-Smith and Ramon Vazquez are both quite able to use the F-bomb effectively. You don't need to be a lip reader to know that, the big Aussie isn't saying G'Day Mate to Vasquez. There is some bad blood between these teams.

I don't know what happened to my earlier posts but they are gone. Anyway, Jeff Clement hits a lead-off double for his first multi-hit game of the season, and he later scores on Yuni's double. But the Mariners fail to take the lead as Ichiro strikes out with one out and a runner on third.

8:23 -- thanks to our stats guru - Victor Yoshida - our Asian version of the Schwab, I've been informed I haven't covered a win since April 26th. That's for you Snydro

8:13 -- Cha Seung Baek woarming up, he may want to keep his head up. He might get hit by a baseball. Another single and it looks like Capt. Personality is out of here.

8:11 -- Back-to-back bombs, and they weren't short. REmember when Bedard said he thought giving up home runs were really funny when they go really far. I guess he found those last two funny, or maybe not.

And another ball off the fence. Remember that lead I was reminding Bedard about, it's gone.

7:50 -- If the wind isn't blowing, that ball Clement's hit would have gotten over the head of the right field.

7:40 -- Another run for Texas, does Bedard know he used to have a four-run lead?

7:25 -- Does Bedard know that he has a five-run lead?

7:18 -- Five runs in the first inning, I can't believe what I just saw, I also sat down below for the first two innings, just to get a different perspective and get out of the press box. This isn't a bad place to watch a game.

NEED A REASON TO HATE/RESPECT DEREK JETER? From the SF Chronicle....

Check out Derek Jeter's social resume. In its May 20 editions, Maxim magazine will publish its "Hot 100" list, and six of the women on the list dated the Yankees' shortstop: Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Mariah Carey, Scarlett Johansson, Vanessa Minnillo and Gabrielle Union. In case you're wondering, the list includes none of Roger Clemens' gals.
